The present invention addresses the problem of enabling an amount of compression of a bead part to be ensured and sealing properties to be improved in a gasket that is supported on one side with a bolt hole provided only on one side of the bead part. A gasket (1) is provided that has an opening (103) to be sealed, a bead part (12) provided along a circumference of the opening (103), and a bolt hole arranged on one side of the bead part (12). The gasket (1) is arranged between a case (101) and a cover (102) and is fastened with a bolt to seal the opening (103) while being supported on one side by the bolt (200). A height adjusting part (14) is provided in a side edge portion (1a) that is located on the opposite side of the bolt hole from the bead part (12). The height adjusting part (14) regulates a gap between the case (101) and the cover (102) during fastening with the bolt and serves as a fulcrum to press the cover (102) into contact with the bead part (12).

A gasket is provided to reduce a reaction force in an attached state and suppress deterioration of sealing performance due to a corrosive foreign matter such as salty water and a snow melting agent. A gasket includes a metal base plate made of metal, and a covering layer formed of an elastic body that covers at least a part of the metal base plate. The metal base plate includes a pair of an upper face and a lower face that are back-to-back to each other, a bead portion protruding toward a side facing the upper face, an inner periphery portion extending from an inner periphery edge of the bead portion, and an outer periphery portion extending from an outer periphery edge of the bead portion. The outer periphery portion extends toward a side facing the lower face, in an oblique manner with respect to a protruding direction of the bead portion.

A coating solution comprising an organic solvent solution containing polyol-crosslinkable fluororubber, a polyol vulcanizing agent, and N-phenyl-3-aminopropyltrialkoxysilane, preferably a coating solution further containing an epoxy resin in addition thereto, and a fluororubber metal laminated sheet formed by applying the above coating solution to a metal sheet, followed by vulcanization. The coating solution can not only impart stability over time to the fluororubber paste, but also improve the interlayer adhesion and abrasion resistance of the fluororubber metal laminated sheet. Therefore, when it is used as a cylinder head gasket, it is possible to cope with the reduction in rigidity due to the increase in combustion pressure of the engine, and with weight saving. As a result, it will greatly contribute to the improvement of fuel efficiency of automobiles.

A plate heat exchanger gasket is configured to be positioned between adjacent heat transfer plates in a plate heat exchanger and includes a continuous seal part integrated with spaced-apart wedge parts. The media pressure produced by the fluids flowing in the plate interspaces act on the continuous seal part and applies a force tending to push the continuous seal part outwardly. The wedge parts are sized to contact and act against portions of the heat transfer plates so that movement of the wedge parts is prevented. Because the wedge parts are integrated with the continuous seal part, the wedge parts thus prevent the continuous seal part (plate heat exchanger gasket) from being pushed outwardly and so blow-outs are not so likely to occur.

An engine head gasket includes a base layer, an upper layer, and a lower layer. The base layer includes a base layer inner edge. The engine head gasket further includes an anti-preignition wrap defining a cylinder opening and wrapped around the base layer inner edge. The engine head gasket is configured with a combustion seal and selective thicknesses to direct a combustion sealing load to a cylinder block. The anti-preignition wrap shields angular corners of the base layer inner edge from a cylinder to limit preignition.

An electrically isolating gasket is disclosed wherein a coating layer is disposed on at least one conductive surface, and in some embodiments, on all surfaces or at least all of the conductive surfaces. The electrically isolating gasket includes a core gasket component, a ring seal component, and a non-conductive inner seal component. The coating layer can be, for example, polyimide, polyamide, ceramic, and aluminum oxide.

Provided is a method for manufacturing a gasket member as described below. A plate-like base material is clamped between a first and a second split mold, and a gasket is fixed to a surface of the base material by injecting and filling a rubber-like elastic material into a cavity defined between the base material and the first split mold. An air vent is provided including an exhaust groove and an exhaust hole, the exhaust groove extending from the cavity toward an inner or outer peripheral side on a butting surface between the base material and the first split mold and partially opening in a circumferential direction of the cavity, the exhaust hole extending from the exhaust groove in a clamping direction of the first and second split molds. Air in the cavity is discharged through the air vent when the rubber-like elastic material is injected and filled into the cavity.

A film-integrated gasket is provided in which a gasket body is supported by a gasket support body formed of a resin film and a film thickness t.sub.2 at a position where the gasket body is supported is set to be smaller than a film thickness t.sub.1 at an adjacent position thereto so as to satisfy a demand for low reaction force by reducing the compression ratio in the thickness directional in mounting. The film-integrated gasket can be provided with a portion compressed in the thickness direction at the position where the gasket body is supported, so that the portion sets a thickness difference. The film-integrated gasket can alternatively be provided with a portion where a plurality of resin films is stacked at an adjacent position to the position where the gasket main body is supported, so that the portion sets a thickness difference.

A cylinder head gasket with a carrier layer and at least one inserted sealing element, wherein the inserted sealing element has a passage opening for combustion gas, the inserted sealing element is fastened on the carrier layer on an outer side which is spaced apart from the passage opening, and the inserted sealing element has at least a first layer and at least one further layer. An engine component comprising the cylinder head gasket is disclosed, the engine component having an engine block unit, a cylinder sleeve unit which delimits the engine block unit at least in regions from a combustion chamber, and a cylinder head unit, wherein the cylinder head gasket is arranged between the cylinder head unit on one hand and the engine block unit and the cylinder sleeve unit on the other hand.

A gasket device for a pneumatic valve system, in particular of a commercial vehicle, comprises gasket part being adapted to be inserted into at least a groove of a contact face of a first casing part, e.g. an adapter, the gasket part comprising at least one gasket chamber for sealingly connecting device channels of mounted casing parts; a body part being adapted to be received in a valve seat of the casing part; at least one spring part connecting the body part and the gasket part,
wherein the body part is moveable in an airflow direction relative to the gasket part by bending or stretching the at least one spring part,
wherein in an unbiased basic condition of the gasket device the body part is positioned above a gasket plane defined by the gasket chamber.

The gasket device is made as a single part of a flexible, elastic material.
